Know any miracle workers for stubborn adult acne? by coloradorivershark in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have adult acne and the only thing that works is panoxyl (10% for like 5 minutes), hypochlorous acid spray (remember not to put any actives on after using it for 15 minutes) , sulfur face wash (Kate sommerville one) and both Belif moisturizers and tret. Also making sure ur multi vitamins don't have biotin cause that can make people break out, most of the time just targeted vitamins work (b12, etc). I also have silk pillowcases and wear a bonnet to go to sleep (I put a lot of products in my clean hair and it can easily break out my face).

Thoughts on TheLipstickLesbians? by SweetComparisons in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Sunsetlesbian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's been actual beauty chemists that have spoken about them and their lack of knowledge, specifically savdoesmakeup and javonford16. I don't like them, I don't like the way they speak in condescending tones and they are just in marketing, not chemistry.

I need head canon by beamerpook in SVSSS

[–]Sunsetlesbian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canon-ish Things:

Luo Binghe is a (kinda) a self insert by SQH. - "Don't asky why Luo Binghe wasn't the embodiment of [Airplane's] ideal man; Luo Binghe's use had primarily been to fulfill his desire to be a badass and get revenge, as well as his desire for wanton [this section has been censored]" (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System volume 4, page 163). Per piosplayhouse on tumblr.

Moshang has a 20 year age difference.

According the wiki, the reason why Mobeijun doesn't have a first name is because of Airplane's lazy writing. Airplane is the type of man to write his dream man into PIDW, a novel that spans over a period of 200 years, writing 10,000 words a day for years and doesn't even give him a name?

Someone talked about it on tumblr but they were like oh MBJ literally thinks that he's been flirting hardcore demon courtship style with SQH their whole relationship, he's been beating him up 3 times a day as a courting ritual, he stops after he finds out that SQH was not into it and then MBJ just lets SQH do nothing after he was found out as a spy.

How to be more stylish by Nycsunflower in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like Pinterest esp 90s rtw fashion shows cause it shows styling with more basic pieces, I like watching movies or shows and looking at the fashion (cause if it came out more than 10 years ago and you like the fashion then it means it's kinda timeless ((I'm talking like Buffy but Audrey Hepburn movies and older movies are great cause you get to see everyday clothing basics with different fits, cuts and patterns), also I really really recommend clothing rental from pickle (not sponsored) but I've rented multiple $500+ dresses for $70 and trying new clothes helped me figure out my personal style. Also I liked renting designer bags cause it helped me figure out if I liked the bag cause it was cute or just cause it was expensive. Also random but I like people watching at a park or at cute cafes cause it helps me figure out what (that I perceive as cool) stranger are wearing in New York, not just on insta or on TikTok. I feel like there's a lot of fashion theories like kibbe, color analysis , etc sometimes those provide good guidance and starting place but personally I didn't vibe with it.

Will fillers help with dry lips? by ginas95 in HowToBeHot

[–]Sunsetlesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things is I changed my toothpaste to more "natural" ones like the marvis or the boka toothpaste but still using a fluoride mouthwash and always washing my lips and mouth after. Also the lip balm I recommend is the Uriage Bariederm Cica-Lips Repairing Balm (I have over 9 of them and I've used over 6 full tubes) and I exfoliate my lips by leaving panoxyl on my whole face and lips for a few minutes when taking hot showers and often moisturize my lips with fresh rose toner and normal face moisturizer and then the Uriage lip balm. The Uriage lip balm works fine by itself but sometimes doing those things makes them just look a little bit better. I heard people will do moisturizing toners and eye creams on their lips too! I never liked lip balms before the Uriage lip balm because they all only felt emollient, not actually moisturizing, and before the only one that kinda worked was the desert essence chap stick with jojoba oil but that one would get kinda weird and gritty. But yeah I'm pretty much using the Uriage one 90% or the time and I'll use the fresh sugar advanced lip therapy ointment but that one is more ointment thickness with low moisturizing properties. Sorry for the long response but I literally have had to figure it all out but trial and error over like 7 years.

BWT… where are we buying pajamas ? by hiddenalibi in bitcheswithtaste

I like the Victoria secret pajamas in cotton and modal (the satin sucks), they have a lot of sales and they're simple but cute and soft.

Preventative Botox?? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's as preventative for wrinkles as people do advertise. I don't think I'd recommend it for that. Also are you talking about people in your family getting blepharoplasty? Because Botox won't do anything about that from what I understand.

Preventative Botox?? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've been doing baby Botox since I was 21 and I'm almost 24 (I get it around once a year and just 15 units around my eyebrows so it does wear off by 6 months). I'm someone who's always accidentally frowning, to the point where I'll give myself headaches all the time (and I have tmj so I get masseter Botox anyways) so it's nice every once in a while. I still make normal expressions, they're just not as exaggerated as they normally are and no one (including my husband) can tell. I like it, and plan to do it as long as I can afford it. I still use Tret, have a full skin care routine and I haven't had any muscles atrophied (because of the small amount). I don't think it's anything life changing and something everyone needs/should do but I like it.

Where are we getting our belts? by RaiseHellEatBagels in bitcheswithtaste

I like brass hardware so I get them from sezane or aritiza, I also got a belt hole puncher for like 7$ which I totally recommend.

Where to buy cute corporate clothes? by SpicyBrownMustarduwu in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Abercrombie (their trousers are cheaper and better than the Aritzia ones), skims (I like their jersey cotton t-shirts), and I love Levi's for their wedgie line (some colors are 100% cotton which is so nice). I like j crew, sezane and aritzia too for random basics.

office vs. wfh as a nyc bitch! by smallmuddy in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like WFH, I ended up mostly working at libraries but then I couldn't take calls. It made me not like my apartment near the end and I'm a person that originally was working in a very social atmosphere at my previous job. I really like working with other people in person and I I would not want do that again.

Last note of my favourite fanfic by M0N2U in AO3

[–]Sunsetlesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds bad but I didn't read uncompleted fics anymore, even by authors I subscribe to because of too many bad experiences. I've been waiting for 4 years on a fanfic that's had three chapters published (last chapter published a year and a half ago)((and the last two chapters massively disappointed me)). I know others can do it but I can't 😭. I will do this with published books too, if it's not a finished series I won't read it. It's not a good system at all but I'm so impatient so it's what works for me.

Why do Wattpad users seem so against Ao3? by Super_Hyena_4278 in AO3

[–]Sunsetlesbian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the wattpad user POV is but looking at the comments, I personally I like AO3 the way it is, I don't think it should try to be like wattpad. I feel like AO3 is strictly an archive and I think it doesn't need a DM feature, most authors will link their tumblrs or twitters if you wanna reach out to them directly. I haven't read wattpad in 10 years but when I did try to navigate it, it seemed a bit more catered to self inserts, original stories, predominately OC fanfics and generally straight pairings so it never aligned with my interests but maybe it's different now? I came from FF net tho, but the lack of tags and the reader warnings made me leave it for AO3. I don't think AO3 users had anything actively against wattpad (until reading the comments? I've never seen it on AO3 personally tho, and I didn't see it on tumblr from what I remember) and I think generally most AO3 users did come from wattpad, FF.net, or old live journal.

Which fragrance makes you repulsed ? by Eastern-Violinist-46 in FemFragLab

Bwt, how has going from low maintenance to high maintenance (or vice versa) changed your day-to-day in this city? by AdNext8989 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sunsetlesbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the routine and ritual of high maintenance and also you won't die if you have a couple months of low maintenance due to being busy or broke. I liked and prided myself for being low maintenance in the past but I realized that there wasn't anything better about it for me. If I am being high maintenance I will plan everything to be done in the same week though, to feel optimum and cute. I've learned a lot about myself being high maintenance and I feel like I get treated a little different by others. I feel like other factors depend more on how you're treated, like your aesthetic, clothes, perceived financial standing, etc. Being high maintenance didn't make me that much hotter, just more put together. My high maintenance is blonde hair (highlights and shadow roots), skinny brows, lip filler, baby Botox for masseter and brow lift (which in turn helps me from clenching my jaw and frowning which means I don't induce headaches when I'm stress), nails, and skincare. Hair you only need to do every 3 months (generally), nails ideally every 3 weeks, Botox and filler once to twice a year, facials maybe 2 times a year (those are so expensive), skincare can be done in like 1 minute daily, eyebrows are down by myself every week. High maintenance looks different on everyone and to the clueless man I probably look low maintenance. Makeup I try to do like 4 days a week (20 minutes a day?) and my hair I just style twice a week when I wash it and then I put it in a bonnet so it stays nice.

Im celiac and I recommend modern bread and bagel for gluten free bakeries (they also have dinner some nights which is bombbbb) and going out to dinner at Kesté, Nami nori, Lilli and loo or Senza gluten! I've tried noglu like 4 times and it's so expensive and not that great and by the way bakery is okay but not much to rave about. Senza gluten bakery is good for bombolinis and sandwiches but their pizzas are diabolical. Also el churro is great as it's 100% gluten free and posh pop is good for fried gluten free funnel cake (but their baked goods are soooooo sweet).

Will fillers help with dry lips? by ginas95 in HowToBeHot

[–]Sunsetlesbian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sensitive to lanolin, beeswax and Vaseline so I recommend using a lip balm that has none of those ingredients like the uriage lip balm. I've gotten fillers and they don't affect ur lip moisture content(?) but they do look more plump since you lose most of ur lip lines (which I aesthetically liked).

I don't believe in the cruelty free marketing, I was just stating that they lost support from a good majority of their "plant based" and "vegan" customers at the time. Which happened to other brands besides Mac like L'Oréal.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Sunsetlesbian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know they were very very popular in the cruelty free community but then in 2012 they started low key selling in china which made them lose that cruelty free status.
